(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
Intensive sampling was carried out in the marine environment of Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru ports to investigate the composition of benthic sessile population on three different occasions during 2001 to 2002. This study ...
What do barnacle larvae feed on ? Implications in biofouling ecology
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)
Barnacles are one of the dominant macrofouling organisms found in the intertidal region throughout the world. Among the different species of barnacles Balanus amphitrite (= Amphibalanus amphitrite) is a favoured candidate ...
Quantification of the energy required for the destruction of Balanus Amphitrite larva by ultrasonic treatment
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)
Ultrasonic treatment, a relatively less explored technology in water disinfection, was used to quantify the energy required for the destruction of larvae of barnacle Balanus amphitrite, which is a major marine fouling and ...
Larval development, sensory mechanisms and physiological adaptions in acorn barnacles with special reference to Balanus amphitrite
(Elsevier, 2010)
Barnacles have drawn the attention of many naturalists and often dominate fouling communities. Balanus amphitrite, is a shallow water acorn barnacle capable of inhabiting expanses from supralittoral to subtidal levels, and ...
